After months of searching and near misses on online stores. I finally scored the elusive Fianna Fins! It was actually a day I was not even going to look in the doll aisle and my fiance actually went by his his self and found her (he is trained so well, jking lol). I am very happy she is so adorable, she has almost the same hair color as my favorite steffie so that is an instant plus for her. I did have to tidy up her lips and take the glitter down a bit but I love the glitter on this doll so I didn't do too much. I did redo her hair because the crimping on her hair was not as nice as others. But, overall very happy with her!

So… this house is kinda special to me. Or maybe memorable? I’m not sure what you’d call it. Backstory! Dustin and I had driven into Mississippi a few times for various reasons, either to explore or go to a state park or check out something he found on Facebook marketplace that he wanted to buy. Anyway, on this one particular highway, sits this house. I’ve always wanted to stop but we’ve always been tired or pressed for time so we never did. He even offered a couple of times to turn around and go back. Never happened. I might have tried to photograph it from the car or something but finally, this trip to a state park with just the kids and myself a few short months after his passing, I finally stopped and took all the pictures I wanted. I didn’t trespass much - stayed in the driveway/turnaround. But it’s special. I feel drawn to this house.
~Story people~
Sun is finally out ... so I'm takin a lil break!
I'm going out ... need new photos! :)
Please no large glittery graphics, photos or big group invites in your comments!
I fed this little bugger peanuts all winter trying for a shot like this and FINALLY got it a couple days ago. He is SO fast and grabs that peanut and flies so far away! It was worth the wait. Smile
I finally finished my bag for the Goodie Bag swap! Partner, I hope you like it! I was going to use these larger, black buttons, but they didn't look right so I went with silver. Feel free to change them out if they aren't your style! I hadn't made this bag before and I didn't realize how large it is! I'm really sorry the handles aren't a bit longer, but I didn't have enough of the grey fabric to make longer handles and I was determined to use that particular fabric! :)
finally finished, if anyone knows where i can get these printed on vynal let me know

I finally found an interesting and previously undiscovered car. It usually lives in the garage; but this is a road I'd virtually never go down in normal circumstances. I had a chat with the owner who kindly interrupted washing it and stood aside so I could take a picture. You can just see his boots on the right! He also owns the VW Golf I recently posted; that being his "Modern" daily.
Present owner since 2015 and it covers about 2,000 miles per year.
CPKC #247 slowly crawls out of the Bensenville yard limits on the eastern edge of Franklin Park, IL. This 247 today was extra special with the grand prizes being a BNSF Fakebonnet leader (BNSF Dash 9 # 771) and CPKC painted GP38-2 #4412! The 4412 was definitely an eye catcher that day since it wears the new CPKC merger paint scheme that is finally being painted onto locomotives in 2024 (with CP ES44AC “Gevo” #9375 being the first to get repainted) after being revealed the year before in 2023!
4412 was once built as SOO GP38-2 #4412 in 1978 but in the early 90s CP melded the SOO Line into their own system and 4412 managed to last a long time with its red and white as built paint job even into the CP-KCS merger approved in 2023! That was until the next year (2024) when it was rebuilt AND REPAINTED by Progress Rail into the CPKC merger livery and delivered back to Bensenville (likely via NS) where shortly after it was sent up to the St Paul, MN shops for setup (obviously seen here in transit to said shops).
As for the CPKC paint scheme, it has its good and bad parts but overall looks alright depending on how often you’ve looked at it and how it looks on certain locomotives (and yes it looks badass on this Geep). Some say it looks like the paint scheme from the fictional AWVR AC4400CW #767 from the movie Unstoppable (2010) which I can sort of see but it obviously it has SEVERAL differences (ironically the 4 AC44s used in Unstoppable for 777 and 767 were actually from CP lol). In the end, CPKC employees voted for this paint job and this is what we got so I guess we’ll just keep watching and waiting to see how the paint scheme fits on other locomotives!
Not the greatest shot in the world....but I finally have a CP SD40-2 on the point on the friggin CP mainline....his eastbound train meets an empty westbound coal train at Dodge....just west of Fall River, WI.....
The CP was just getting started with good trains this day....
Now it feels like spring. The weather is warmer, you have foggy mornings. One of the smallest of warblers the Northern Parula, is happy to sing away looking for love and marking it's territory. The light was horrible at this location and shooting at F4 made focus a bit tricky.
Northern Parula populations seem to be stable, and experienced a small increase between 1966 and 2014, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Partners in Flight estimates a global breeding population of 13 million with 73% spending part of the year in the U.S., 56% in Mexico, and 27% breeding in Canada. Hopefully this guy will continue to return to this location for years to come.
CP 7013, donning the Maroon "Script" Scheme, leads CSX #I165 parking in Bensenville Yard near the yard office, completing a long journey full of issues.
These guys would be very late compared to a normal run as the crew died on hours in Indiana, had to wait 4 hours for a recrew before they finally blasted north. In addition, the mid DPU, KCSM Grey 4500 also failed so they were running entirely on 1 engine.
Finally developed a couple of Kodak Ektar rolls i shot in Barcelona.

THIS is the effect I was looking for... and now I found out how to get it... it was much easier then I thought!!
Had enough of a bubble between work responsibilities and illnesses today and get out for some shooting. I wanted to go north, but an opportunity to get vaccinated sent me back to where I work instead.
This railroad building I have shot before. It is by the Norfolk Southern tracks in Arden, NY. It was built by the Erie.
This catbird has been serenading for years in the same place....near the observation deck. Catbirds seem to like people but on their own terms....always just out of sight. He finally dropped his guard the other day, and I caught him. Sort of...... lol
Finally, after some more or less disappointing trips to the coast for some sunset shots, the sun actually showed itself.
We are finally seeing some green across the Bay Area. As shown in this photo, the hills over at Mission Peak are vibrant with green. It' s about time to dust off my hiking boots.
Finally made it back to my old haunt in Little Wittenham Wood last week and it never fails to disappoint me. Strong sunlight enhancing the textures in this scene.
After working sporadically on this quilt for over a year, I finished it the day after Thanksgiving. Just couldn't decide what I wanted to do with large Japanese Box patchwork squares until I put appliqued Morning Glories with leaves on it. Hand appliqued and machine pieced. Machine quilted 84" x 68". Nov. 2024

I am finally, finally free. I'm just where I want to be, alone, a little bit lost, but so full of joy and eager to love and I feel the change starting in me. When I return, I won't be the same. I'll be a little bit grown, a little bit at home, a little bit beautiful, but entirely, adoringly, exuberantly, still, me.
Explored.

Finally I was able to see them open after 5 days being closed in the rainy weather, snowed last night but I thing todays sun will take care of that last mess.
this eastern tiger swallowtail was in constant motion, finally stood still long enough for a photo, Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, TX. Sony A6300 and FE70300G.

We actually got above freezing yesterday, we reached 36F and the same for the next couple of days. This picture was taken 3 years ago and there is strong possibiity that we won't have this type of hoarfrost until the beginning of next winter. Snow banks should start to recede but the Easter bunny will have a difficult time hiding eggs outside this year.
Finally a warm, sunny day yesterday (back to grey and overcast today) so I made my first nature walk in my local reserve.
I saw quite a few butterflies, though only photographing a couple of species, but my favourite photo was of this blue tit in the field where I go for dragonflies. It was great to get a nice photo of one a long distance from any people, feeders or buildings.
The 5 ponds in the field were all full of water unlike last year when they had little or no water much of the time.
One, solitary monarch. It makes me sad to see a solitary monarch. They used to travel in bunches, but I thought I would never see one again, so I'm grateful.
Finally....I am back from the Flickr dead. After more than 6 months without a post I am hoping to get back into the swing of things...with a backlog of images and comments to catch up on. I thought that this image would be a good one to start with, I am very happy to say that it was selected as the winner of the 2010 Lake Erie Living Magazine Photo Contest. lakeerieliving.com/Main/Articles/632.aspx This sunrise was taken along the shores of Lake Erie at Nickelplate Beach in Huron Ohio during a return trip home to Ohio in September of last year. Here's to staging a comeback....i look forward to sharing and viewing some wonderful images.
Finally worked on my first snow image from Sweden and the first self-portrait for this year. It was an incredible experience to photograph while watching the snowflakes falling down, enjoy the feeling of serenity, and to get complete lost in imagination and create from the inside.
Finally after nearly a month of awful weather conditions in the UK at sunset I managed to get out with the camera last night to capture this dramatic light at Langstone Harbour, Hayling Island, Hampshire!
I was driving home from work though the heavy rain last night and thought to myself that the camera would stay in the bag for yet another day but at around 8pm the rain stopped so out I went to find the waters of my local harbour calm and providing some nice reflections of the dark moody clouds and some colour.
1/5 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 + 0.6 (reversed) ND grad filters.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
